“Dissapointed”

Staff could not be bothered with too many questions or giving tourist information....almost like we were nuisances.....and the airconditioning was not turned on till 4pm despite the heat....location was in a quiet area serviced by the bus,and the breakfast was ok.

“wonderful coffee at breakfast!”

the walk down to the shops and restaurant is ok - the walk back up fine on an evening when its cool! - cost of a taxi 10-12 euros! .the hotel pool was kept nice and clean but colddddd! Air con was switched on sometime in the afternoon, which was nice to walk into the bedrooms, but it was switched off in the early hours. could do with better bathrooms! even our toilet roll got wet through when taking a shower! but overall,very pleasant and helpful staff from the reception to the maids.

“Good location - BAD customer service!”

Staff very friendly on arrival. Room had leaking shower hose which sprayed everywhere, soaking toilet rolls/towels. Worse was leaking aircon unit that dripped water all night so trip to bathroom meant either slip or freezing drip on head. Hotel promised to fix next day, said it had been done but it wasn't. Didn't move our room until our last night there. Staff dismissive of problem, lied daily it had been fixed & were even sarcastic to us. Aircon was very poor & only on between 3pm -3am! Couldn't take towel from room down to pool so had to rent one in lobby. Had to rent the fridge. The town is lovely so visit it but avoid this hotel. The attitude of the staff made us so angry & frustrated it ruined the first few days of our holiday.

“Good value for money and great views but very noisy”

Hotel Kristina offers good value for money. Its situated just a few minutes (steep) walk from Porto Catania. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel pool was lovely after a days sightseeing. And there were great views of the bay of Naxos and Mt Etna from the balcony. The room was small but OK. The bathroom was dated and poorly laid out but adequate. However the noise of the dustcarts and scooters at 6am meant that we came home more tired than before the holiday!

“Hotel Villa Kristina 10 day stay.”

I recently stayed in this Hotel for 10 days. I thought it was great value for money. The rooms were of a reasonable size. The room & bedding where cleaned every day. Breakfast was very nice. It is a 15 to 20 minute walk to the centre of Taormina. Which is not to bad going to the town but getting back could be a struggle.

“Nice but....”

Good and clean but a fair walk up hill from the main drag (Corso Umberto). The rooms were clean & staff friendly. However, we had a real issue with the Air Con. It failed to work for 3 days and the consierge really wasn't that bothered. He did get it fixed, but the next day, so we spent 2 nights boiling hot with a constant dripping noise! Not wheelchair friendly at all, but great to have a pool and be away from the noise of the main town. It also had beautiful views of Etna and the harbour. Good value for money.

“Lage und Aussicht spricht für das Hotel”

Zimmer ab der 2. Etage habe eine schöne Aussicht auf den Ätna und auf die Bucht von Giardini Naxos. Die Lage des Hotels ist relativ zentral an der Hauptstraße nach Castelmola. Zu Fuß bergab, teilweise über Stufen, ist man in ca. 15 Minuten im Zentrum von Taormina. Eine kleine, sehr enge Tiefgarage ist vorhanden. Die Zimmer waren ordentlich, jedoch nicht perfekt sauber. Das enge Bad scheint noch aus den Anfängen des Tourismus übrig geblieben zu sein. Duschvorhang, Duschbrause, die sich nicht höhenverstellen läßt und Fliesen, mit Flecken und Schimmel anstatt Fugen... Hier ist eine Renovierung dringend notwendig. Das Frühstücksbüffet war ok, jedoch nicht überragend. Brot, Croissants mit und ohne Füllung, Zwieback, eine Sorte Wurst, Käse. Butter, Marmelade, Honig, Schokocreme in Portionen verpackt, Joghurt, Orangen, Dosenobst, Wasser, Saft, Milch und verschiedene Müslis. Das beste war der Cappucino. Schön ist die Poolanlage mit Blick auf den Ätna. Ausreichend Liegen und Sonnenschirme sind vorhanden, eine Bar mit Bedienung ebenfalls. Internetpoint mit PC (gebührenpflichtig) und WLan(kostenfrei) im öffentlichen Bereich des Hotels. Das Personal war freundlich und gab auf Nachfrage auch gerne Auskünfte und Tips über Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Early Breakfast wegen des frühen Rückflugs war ebenfalls möglich. Alles in Allem kann das Hotel für seine zentrale Lage im Touristenzentrum Siziliens durchaus empfohlen werden.

“Christina”

Hotel liegt direkt an einer Durchgangsstrassse. Verkehr bis nachts 2Uhr und ab 04,30 Morgens. Starke Geruchsbelästigung durch Autoabgase. Queren der Str. ist lebensgefährlich. Minimale Parkmöglichkeiten. Hotel ist alt, teilweise im Bau, ohne Komfort wie Restaurant o.ähnliches. Service Fremdwort. Pluspunkt ist der herrliche Blick auf den Aetna als auf den Hafen von Naxos.

“sarebbe perfetto non fosse per i servizi igienici disastrosi”

posizione perfetta,bella la piscina, bellissimo il panorama dalle camere tutte con terrazzino,ottima e abbondante la colazione comodo per la possibilità di parcheggiare nel garage privato dell'hotel (a Taormina ci sono enormi problemi di parcheggio)aspetto veramente negativo: i servizi igienici, maleodoranti,vecchi e rotti. Scarsa attenzione alla manutenzione della camera (es. serramento rotto, lampadina bruciata)sarebbe sufficiente abbellire i terrazzi dai quali si gode una vista meravigliosa con fiori per renderli più accoglienti. E' un ottimo 2 stelle, la classificazione 3 stelle è troppo esagerata
